During the last decade an increasing number of parents, educators, elected officials and interested citizens in the USA, United Kingdom and other economically developed nations became concerned with rising obesity rates among children, teens and the adult population. These reformers called for an end to vending machines, fastfood type offerings, sticking to nutritional guidelines and finding ways to reconnect children to food..............School Lunch Reform Movement 1995
Unfortunately, most elementary school hot lunch programs are opting to establish and/or reinforce a taste for greasy fare, high in saturated fat & cholesterol, salt & sugar; by choosing
fast food options to offer to the children.
These foods are more likely to lead to obesity and related health problems.
School lunches are not meant to be treats!!
They are necessary to provide the essential nutrients required for proper food energy
needed to support a great afternoon of learning & fun!!
When children are offered fast food within the school environment, they are being taught that it is okay to eat them & will believe that these are good food choices!
Children need to learn an appreciation for nutritious foods when they are still in the process of developing their individual preferences, therefore, they will be more likely to eat healthfully as adults and to teach their children to do the same.
